Has anyone tried any of the ROMs?
Device: Huawei P10-Plus
Model: VKY-L29 C636


I mostly tried the Resurrection Remix ROM and it works very good. I still have it on my device.
There are some issues that i encountered. I also wrote them on the Telegram support group:
  1. The battery has a problem. I noticed it with every battery monitoring app. Looks like that i have 1000mAh of capacity, while i have really a ~4000mAh. There is also a huge battery drain (with the stock ROM i had almost 20 hours of battery. With any of the treble ROMs, i have a maximum of 12 hours on standby). I'll explain later how i almost solved this problem.
  2. Changing the theme looks not possible on RR. When i press "change theme" to "dark" or "black", nothing happens. I solved the need of having a dark theme with Substratum.
  3. Sometimes the screenshots are VERY pixelated, like a quarter of the resolution of the screen.
  4. The dialer has a huge problem: the "mute" button does not mute. The rest of the call is good.
  5. Everytime i boot my phone, there is the "Android is booting..." text on the screen. Nothing more. The System interface just loops the "Android is booting..." text. I fixed it locking the screen, unlocking it with the power button, sliding up from the "dialer" icon, entering the padlock and pressing the "back" button. The text is gone and the phone is ready to work. (check attachments for a demo).

The battery drain can be fixed with three solutions.
1st solution:
The first solution is with Kernel Adiutor. If the scenario is identical as mine, you will notice that the phone is not going into the Deep Sleep state. You can however try to reduce the power consume setting the High CPUs governor on "powersave", while setting the Little CPUs governor on "interactive" or "conservative". That helped me to reduce the battery consume.
This solution has one problem: is ALWAYS active.
To avoid this situation, you can use Tasker, which is the second solution.

2nd solution:
With Tasker, i set two profiles: "Screen Off" and "Screen On".
I added two activities, each one for each profile.
The first activity, the "Screen Off" activity, sets every CPU on "powersleep" mode, saving energy.
The "Screen On" activity sets the little CPUs at "interactive" mode, making the phone smoother and not lagging.
Then i set the profile "Screen On" that has to be activated ONLY if the screen is on the state "ON". Same with "Screen Off", but obviously when screen is on state "OFF".

3rd solution:
The third solution is a something that you can use in addiction with the previous ones.
Just use Greenify to hibernate apps once they are closed. It helped me a lot with old Android phones with a small battery.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR RESURRECTION REMIX ROM GOES INTO A "ANDROID IS BOOTING..." LOOP
Here's the bootloop example. It just goes on forever:


Here's how to troubleshoot it. Just do it every reboot:

Yesterday installed OMNIrom Alpha2 on my VKY-L29 and... actually i don't have what to blame.

I'm not a power user, but for daily use it's more than capable. Phone works, internet (wifi/data) works, youtube vanced works, fingerprint gestures works, camera works, no lag. Android 9.
I'm happy AF, epecially when i know, that several weeks before i had locked device with no prospect to get a root, not mentioning Android Pie.

Hi there, any issues after a while? Are you still using it? (like, is BT working, is the dialer fully functional?)

best,

Rooted P10 Plus with TWRP 3.1.0-0

Dear Sir,

Thank you for the ROMs.

Please inform me if I can install either of your ROM's via TWRP or are there "hoops and whistles" to go through before I can install.

My phone model number is: VKY-L09
Build number: VKY-L09C02B102
EMUI version: 5.1
Android: 7.0
Kernel: 4.1.18-gfd75bb

Ok, today i'm going to reinstall this rom. Not because i didn't like it, but i want to try openkirin 8.0 roms, how do hey work. I would go back later to this rom for sure.

Minuses of alpha version - i saw somewhere that original camera is not ported, so quality may be not so good. sometimes camera app glitches and some functions doesn't work (portrait mode).
sorry about bluetooth, haven't used it at all. also, i'm not a mobile gamer, so i don't know if game's speed is the same as original.
Don't see any problems with calling. Battery works as expected for ~2 days with simple use of several hours browsing, few calls and always wifi+data.
In my opinion it's not alpha version, but stable beta.

OK so I bit the bullet; it works very well (more stable than the RR build AFAIC), with a few glitches:
  • no NFC
  • install doesn't offer to restore content from elsewhere
  • graphics seem to flicker a bit now and then
Some highlights:
  • battery consumption appears to be at least on par with EMUI 8 (getting more than a full day)
  • this rom does include the Huawei Camera app, which works similarly to EMUI
I'm keeping it :)

how did you install it?
When i try to install a treble android 9 rom i just get a black screen at boot (not even boot anim) and then it just reboots, i followed the openkirin's guide step by step and same result
EDIT: Nvm i got it working :p

Hi, I think I messed up, I try installing by fastboot the system image, but know my phone is on bootloop, i cannot make the twrp be recognized to the computer at least to try uploading to the internal memory another rom to flash.

Can someone, explain to me in details, how can I install this rom? as my phone is bricked now, and I don't know how to solve this. I can only flash things via fastboot, because the twrp is not recognized.

If someone, could help me, I would be so thankful

i dont know if i have to install the a-only version or the A/B version, can someone help me with that?

Hi, I finally can install the ROM, OmniROM Pie Alpha 3, the camera app is working very bad, it's slow and when you took a picture with the front camera it is like you never took it, as it is not in the gallery. There is a fix for this?

Hi,
I see there are some improvements like: Camera: fixed save to external SD card and other good things on 5.2.


Code:
[U]OmniROM Pie Alpha 5.2[/U]
Changes from Alpha 5 to Alpha 5.2 are marked with NEW
OmniROM Pie changes through Feb. 8 with February security patch (NEW: Was Feb. 5 with January security patch.)
Fixed crash in Smart Key settings on Honor 8. (NEW: Derp on my part. This is now saving it’s value properly.)
Added persistent toggle to device settings for disable HW overlays; defaults on for hi3650 devices.
[B]Camera: fixed save to external SD card[/B].
Camera: hi3650 tweaks (beauty mode causing app crash should be resolved)
Minor tweaks to sd card support (exfat seems to work a little better now)
Bluetooth tweaks for Huawei BLE timeout error (NEW; Thanks @Hackintosh5)
Tweak to libc for dealing with certain Huawei vendor libs; fixes crashes on certain devices [Mate 10 Pro exhibited this] (NEW)
Note: If you are using Substratum, please disable overlays before updating.
[U]OmniROM Pie Alpha 4[/U]
Updated to current security patch (2019-01-05)
Added Google Setup Wizard & restore function. (Minor known issue: if you choose to not restore, the restore step sticks around and leaves a persistent notification until reboot. Reboot or force stop the app from notifications to clear.)
Added fast charging toggle in device settings
Added smart key support for Honor 8
Added extended display size support (Settings / OmniGears / Bars / Enable Scaling)

I would possibly update from Pie Alpha 3, but I really don't know how to do it. Following OpenKirin ROM Installation Instructions maybe, without step 15? I wouldn't like to re-install all apps and settings. Please, someone who has updated openkirin in the past, advice.
